Pay It Forward


Times are tough, money is tight, and Valley families are facing extraordinary challenges.

But together, we can make a difference.

CBS 5 is launching an uplifting new series called "Pay It Forward."

Here’s how it works: Each week we'll give a viewer $500. That viewer will have just 60 minutes to give the money away to someone who needs a little boost in life.

So what's the hitch? You can't give it to a family member, and our cameras must be able to come along. (More Terms & Conditions (.pdf))

Join the excitement by filling out the form on this page. Tell us who you think deserves the money. Remember, no family members and no fair being camera shy.

Then tune in every Thursday at 10 p.m. to find out who is "Paying It Forward" this week.
